The post I was replying to was discussing only direct subsidies, not externalities. The report I referenced is the one the poster's reference referenced. I don't see how an HMS report on the cost of externalities is appropriate to the discussion, considering the worldwide costs are certainly in the trillions if not tens of trillions.
- ZeroGravitas 11y agoI'm not sure I'm parsing this correctly, are you saying that the cost of coal externalities are irrelevant to this discussion, because they total trillions of dollars globally each year?
- tertius 11y agoNo, only because they are beyond the scope of direct subsidies.
